- Observation Garlic absorbed more N and K than P.
- Observation Cl deficiency occurred in 98.7% of garlic fields.
- Observation Mn deficiency occurred in 56.1% of garlic fields.
- Observation Fe deficiency occurred in 11.9% of garlic fields.
- Intervention effect Garlic-specific fertilizers increased sprout yield by 12.9% to 30.5% compared with farmer fertilization.
- Intervention effect Garlic-specific fertilizers increased bulb yield by 11.0% to 33.5% compared with farmer fertilization.
- Intervention effect Garlic-specific fertilizers increased net income by 18.2% to 45.6% compared with farmer fertilization.
- Intervention effect The fertilizer improved garlic vitamin C, soluble sugar and soluble protein quality.
- Intervention effect The fertilizer reduced garlic nitrate accumulation.
- Intervention effect Specific fertilizer increased N partial productivity by 26.6% to 50.1%.
